Default Smashed E-blue on 270 in MD

Yesterday (Friday) I drove by an E-blue Z06 on 270N near Germantown that pretty much looked like a write-off. It had chrome repro's and I think the plate was "SUPRCAR." Didn't see any other vehicles involved and thought that was strange. Anyone on this forum?? Were they OK?

I work for the FD in Montgomery Co, I was working yesterday. The guy was sideswiped by a tractor trailer that pretty much ran him over. He wasn't injured physically but I'm sure it ruined his day.

Yeah, it looked like the driver-side, from the door to the front, was destroyed. Pieces of the car littered the highway. Sucks.

He is a member of our corvette club. CCA. Does anyone know if he is ok? Man we just had our cars dyno'd a couple of weeks ago. His car was super clean too! Man that sucks!
